Aims: To evaluate the performance of the currently accepted LVH electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria from ethnic-specific normal values.
Methods And Results: We included 309 hypertensive subjects with both ECG (12‑leads device) and echocardiographic analysis. The diagnosis of LVH was established by echocardiography from specific norms.

Electrocardiography (ECG) is an accessible diagnostic tool for screening patients with hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). However, its diagnostic sensitivity is low, with a high probability of false-negatives. Thus, this study aimed to establish a clinically useful nomogram to supplement the assessment of LVH in patients with hypertension and without ECG-LVH based on Cornell product criteria (low-risk hypertensive population).

The cardiovascular risk associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in the community and, particularly, in the hypertensive fraction of the general population, represents the rationale for its timely and accurate identification in order to implement adequate preventive strategies. Although electrocardiography (ECG) is the first-line and most economical method of diagnosing LVH its accuracy is largely suboptimal. Over the last 70 years, dozens of different ECG criteria, mostly based on measurements of QRS voltages, have been proposed.

Background: In aortic stenosis (AS), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the response to pressure overload and represents the substrate for a maladaptive cascade, the so-called AS-related cardiac damage. We hypothesized that in AS patients electrocardiogram (ECG) LVH not only predicts echocardiography LVH but also other noninvasive and invasive markers of cardiac damage and prognosis after aortic valve replacement (AVR).
Methods: In 279 patients with severe AS undergoing ECG, echocardiography, and cardiac catheterization before AVR, the Sokolow-Lyon index, the Cornell product, the Romhilt-Estes score, and the Peguero-Lo Presti score were assessed.
